After walking out of the passageway, they arrived at the seal of the Subterranean Gallery. Returning to the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan tore open space once more, and ten minutes later, they were already in the sky above Tianxuan Kingdom.
The entire capital exuded a tranquil atmosphere. The people shuttling back and forth didn't seem to realize that the strongest lifeform in the world was floating in the sky.
The group walked into Hongtian Academy. It had been more than a year since they last saw each other, and the academy seemed to have expanded significantly. In the past, it could only accommodate thirty to forty thousand people at most, but now, it could easily accommodate three to four hundred thousand people.
"Hurry up, Lu Xun laoshi will be conducting a lecture today. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to make it!"
"Didn't he just become a 2-star master teacher and needs to reinforce his cultivation?"
"Who knows? It's a rare opportunity for a 2-star master teacher to conduct a lecture. It will surely be beneficial to one's cultivation... Just like how I listened to Zhang Shi's lecture back then. Even though it was just a few words, I have already benefited greatly from it!"
"You've listened to Zhang Shi's lecture before?"
"Of course! I didn't tell you before, right? Zhang Shi is the most famous teacher in our academy. His fame is even greater than Lu Xun laoshi's..."
...
Just as Zhang Xuan was walking in the academy, a group of people suddenly flew past him.
Zhang Xuan, Zhao Ya, and the others weren't too old. They were around the same age as the students, so it was normal for them to be unable to recognize them with just a slight disguise.
Besides, they had left the academy for more than a year.
"Lu Xun is already a 2-star master teacher? That's fast... "
Upon hearing that it was a familiar face, Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he smiled.
When he transcended, Lu Xun was the most famous teacher in the academy. Wang Ying and Zhao Ya had wanted to study under him, but Zhang Xuan had snatched the opportunity away.
A year ago, he was just an ordinary star teacher, and he was still a long way from becoming a 1-star master teacher. Yet, at this very moment, he was already a 2-star master teacher!
Things sure changed quickly.
"Teacher, should we go and take a look?"
Zhao Ya smiled.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Upon hearing the name of this familiar face, he naturally had to go and take a look.
Although there was some unhappiness between the two of them, it was completely resolved in the end. To him, it was nothing.
Following behind the crowd, Zhang Xuan made his way toward the crowd, and it did not take long before he saw a young man standing on a high platform with a solemn expression on his face.
It was Lu Xun, whom Zhang Xuan hadn't seen for a long time.
At this moment, he already had his own unique disposition. He was dressed in a master teacher robe, and the two stars on his chest shone brightly.
2-star master teacher!
In the past, in a place like Tianxuan Kingdom, it was impossible for an expert of such caliber to appear.
"You guys …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to get closer to listen to what this talented teacher had to say, he suddenly saw a young lady blocking his path.
He looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old and was dressed in gray clothes. There was a valiant air between his eyebrows, and he looked a little similar to Zhao Ya.
"We heard Lu Xun laoshi's lecture, so we came over to listen in..."
They looked at each other. Wang Ying said with a smile.
"If you wish to listen to Lu laoshi's lessons, you'll need to show your student token or pay two gold coins... This isn't a fee, it's the remuneration that a master teacher deserves..."
Stretching out his palm, the girl snorted.
"Dollar?"
Zhang Xuan and the others widened their eyes in realization.
Master teachers might be a noble occupation, but they still had to survive and cultivate. As such, most of the time, they had to pay for their lessons.
They had already left Hongtian Academy, so how could they possibly have a student token with them? But... it was indeed difficult for them to fork out gold coins at this moment.
Take Zhang Xuan for example, the lowest tier items in his storage ring had already been exchanged for pinnacle spirit stones. As such, he didn't have anything as low-tier as gold coins.
"We don't have our student token, and we don't have any gold coins either... I have a pill here. I'll give it to you right now. Can you make an exception for us?"
Zhang Xuan rummaged through his storage ring for a moment before he finally found the lowest-tier pill and passed it over.
"Pill?"
The young lady widened her eyes in shock.
Usually, her teacher would only bestow her with pills, and pills had different tiers and names. Every single one of them was incredibly valuable. Yet, these people before her were unable to take out gold coins, but they were able to take out pills?
Perplexed, the young lady took the pill and took a look at it, and a deep frown appeared on her face.
The pill before Zhang Xuan looked completely ordinary. Unlike the ones he had seen in the past, it was filled with spiritual energy, as if it was just a pile of ordinary medicinal herbs.
"Who are you trying to fool? This is a pill as well? Don't think that I haven't seen the world before! "
The young lady harrumphed coldly in fury.
She might be young, but she had seen pills before. An apothecary who wanted to curry favor with her teacher, Lu Xun, had given her a pill. Back then, she had been right in front of the apothecary, and she had seen it with her own eyes. When the jade bottle was opened, spiritual energy immediately gushed out from it, and it felt warm and soothing.
Yet, this pill wasn't in the jade bottle. Putting aside the fact that she had taken it out casually, she couldn't even feel the spiritual energy coming from it... You must be joking!
To think that a counterfeit pill could be passed off as gold coins and make her lose fourteen gold coins... Dream on!
"Little girl, this is really a pill, and it's beneficial to you as well. Its value is definitely above that of gold coins!"
Seeing that the young lady didn't recognize the pill, Wang Ying couldn't help but exclaim.
"I only want gold coins. I don't want this!"
Harrumphing coldly, the young lady flicked her wrist and tossed the pill over stubbornly.
"This..."
Zhang Xuan didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Given his current wealth, any pill that he had casually taken out could easily fetch an astronomical price in the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters. Yet, this young lady actually rejected his offer in place of fourteen gold coins, thinking that he was scamming her. How could she not accept it?
"How about this? I have a stalk of medicinal herb here, and it isn't cheap at all. If you don't want the pill, this stalk of medicinal herb should be enough to cover the cost of your lecture..."
Seeing that her teacher was being accused of scamming others, Wang Ying stepped forward and passed a stalk of medicinal herb over.
A five-hundred-year-old Frigid Star Grass!
Even as the leader of the Spirit Awakener Guild, she didn't have any gold coins on hand.
"You want to scam me with this weed? Don't think that you can fool me just because I'm young. My teacher is a 2-star master teacher, Lu Xun... Even if you bring out a flower today, it won't be of any use. If you don't take out your gold coins, you can scram right now. Dream on! "
It was one thing for the other party to take out a fake pill, but now, he was even taking out a weed that she didn't recognize. The young lady's face turned livid with rage.
"I …" Wang Ying also had a conflicted expression and was speechless.
Given her current identity, there weren't any cheap items in her storage ring anymore. It would be difficult for her to take out a weed that was worth more than ten gold coins and be recognized by the young lady.
"You don't want to take it? It seems like you are trying to cause trouble here! "
Seeing the conflicted looks on the faces of the crowd, the young lady was even more convinced that they were scammers. Unable to hold herself back any longer, she bellowed, "Senior, these people are trying to scam us, and they aren't even paying our lecture fee. Please chase them out!"
Huala!
Right after those words were spoken, a young man wielding a spear walked out.
Upon seeing this person, Zheng Yang's body stiffened, and his eyes reddened. "Mo Xiao, it's you?"
